			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benzodiazepines are a well known collection of drugs taken for their varying hypnotic, sedative, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and amnesic properties.  Benzodiazepines are a psychoactive drug and work by slowing down your central nervous system, for this reason they are regularly used for treatment in problems such as <a href="http://www.medicaladviceguru.com/Posts/tag/insomnia/" title="Insomnia Information" target="_blank">insomnia</a>, agitation, anxiety, seizures, muscle spasms and on some occasions alcohol and drug withdrawal symptoms.</p>
<p>Benzodiazepines are addictive, and users can become dependant on the drug within 3 weeks.  If this occurs to a large extent users may suffer from severe Benzodiazepine withdrawl symptoms. Benzodiazapines come in many forms for different applications, these include:</p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">Anticonvulsants</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>clobazam</li>
<li>clonazepam</li>
<li>clorazepate</li>
<li>diazepam</li>
<li>lorazepam</li>
<li>midazolam</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">Anxiolytics (Anti-Anxiety)<br />
</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>alprazolam</li>
<li>bromazepam</li>
<li>chlordiazepoxide</li>
<li>clonazepam</li>
<li>clorazepate</li>
<li>diazepam</li>
<li>lorazepam</li>
<li>medazepam</li>
<li>nordazepam</li>
<li>oxazepam</li>
<li>prazepam</li>
</ul>
<h3><span class="mw-headline">Insomnia (Hypnotics)</span></h3>
<ul>
<li>brotizolam</li>
<li>diazepam</li>
<li>estazolam</li>
<li>flunitrazepam</li>
<li>flurazepam</li>
<li>lorazepam</li>
<li>loprazolam</li>
<li>lormetazepam</li>
<li>midazolam</li>
<li>nimetazepam</li>
<li>nitrazepam</li>
<li>phenazepam</li>
<li>temazepam</li>
<li>triazolam</li>
</ul>
<p>Unfortunately Benzodiazapines have many side effects, some of them more serious than others!</p>
<p><strong>Side Effects of Benzodiazepine</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span class="mw-redirect">Drowsiness</span></li>
<li>Dizziness</li>
<li>Upset stomach</li>
<li>Blurred vision</li>
<li>Headache</li>
<li><span class="mw-redirect">Confusion</span></li>
<li>Depression</li>
<li>Impaired coordination</li>
<li>Changes in heart rate</li>
<li>Trembling</li>
<li>Weakness</li>
<li>Amnesia</li>
<li>Grogginess</li>
<li>Hangover</li>
<li>Dreaming or nightmares</li>
<li>Chest pain</li>
<li>Vision changes</li>
<li>Jaundice</li>
<li>Paradoxical reactions<sup id="cite_ref-pjtwbb_52-0" class="reference"><span></span></sup></li>
</ul>
<p>Paradocial Reactions from Benzodiazapine includes mania, schizophrenia, anger, impulsivity, and hypo-mania.  All of these are sever and are much more likely to occur in Benzodiazepine users with pre existing borderline personality disorders.</p>
<p>Using Benzodiazepine during Pregnancy is not recommended, though it is still the most commonly used anti-anxiety drug used during pregnancy in America.  Unfortunately Benzodiazepine used during pregnancy can cause reduced cranial size and facial anomolies in children exposed to Benzodiazepine in the womb.</p>
